    Event description

    Living Faith is a conference for anyone wanting to grow and be encouraged in their Christian faith - to learn, worship and enjoy fellowship with other Christians. It's for younger, older, those exploring faith and mature Christians - there will be something for everyone. The theme for Living Faith is 'Prayer and Discipleship' which addresses our basic need to engage with God and become more like Christ. Living Faith could be a life changing experience!

    Bishop Eleanor Sanderson will share about discipleship – what it is, how we can grow in confidence as disciples of Jesus, and how we can all get better at making new disciples. Dallas Harema will speak about his firsthand experience helping people grow in faith and making new disciples. Grant Norsworthy will share about the role of prayer and worship in the life of the disciple. There will be a panel discussion which will include our guests as well as Laidlaw lecturer Rev Dr Karen Kemp and Rev Matt Maslin.
